4.6 release plan

[Daniel Morissette]

Hi,

Since there were very few replies following our discussion last week on
the 4.6 release, I decided to go ahead and start preparing a 4.6 release
plan. I reused the same format as what was used for the 4.4 release and
edited the dates. The document is in the new website:

http://ms.gis.umn.edu/Development/release_plans/mapserver_4_6

What do you think of the following target dates, to get a release over
6-7 weeks in time for MUM3:

     * Feature freeze - April 20th, 2005
     * 4.6.0-beta1 - April 25th
     * 4.6.0-beta2 - May 9th
     * 4.6.0-beta3 - May 23rd
     * 4.6.0-rc1 - May 30th
     * 4.6.0 (final) - June 6th

IMPORTANT: Feature freeze April 20th means that only bug fixes can be
made after April 20th (no new fetures or functional changes). If that
doesn't work for you then you should speak up ASAP so that we can see
what we can do and plan accordingly.

If anyone has important issues that are still being worked on, then
please add them to the list of open tasks, or send them to me and I'll
add them.

Thanks

Daniel
